Cooking Courses: In our large italian garden we grow our aromatics herbs to use in creating typical tuscan dishes cooking school: Tuscany cooking has long been a standard for italian cooking. Not only is the language the purest form of italian, but also, the food is the purest, using the ingredients that are from the region and combining them to make extraordinary rustic dishes. If you've ever had "Ribollita", you understand The best way to learn the different specialities of this region is to travel around trying out everything, but when you return home, those flavors are gone. If you find a restaurant in your home town that specializes in tuscan cooking, it normally has a California or New York accent put on it. Not the real thing. Because of this, we have opened a cooking school that will teach you how to make these wonderful dishes, and then you can bring them back with you. Maybe even open your own restaurant! You will spend an average of 2 hours a day (from 10 to 12 noon) in the kitchen, learning ancient tuscan recipes. After that you can relax in our garden drinking a house cocktail. At 12.30 p.m. you will have lunch in our restaurant, tasting your work. During your meal, you can drink white or red wine of the region. Our Chefs speak english, french and italian.

Moreover in the estate you can rent a bike and go horseriding.
